I just LOVE how shuhua's expressions are sooo on point!!

Thank you so much for this reaction PD, I always look forward to your reactions. Soyeon wrote Allergy from her experience on survival shows when she felt underconfident and unpretty and kept comparing herself to others. Yuqi was her muse for Queencard, she was inspired because Yuqi is always confident. Queencard was inspired from the movie I Feel Pretty. Also, originally Allergy was going to be the title track as she couldn't come with a title track before the deadline, but then Queencard struck her mind.

SoYeon became the executive producer for (G)i-dle, so she has the final word for everything and with this piece of news becoming true, she was asked who she sees as the "rival of the scene" right now (in the way like which groups) and she responded something like: "Rather than seeing the groups this way, I consider their production team this way..." And that is bad-ass statement! After I burn (Hwaa) it felt like they are "done/forgotten", but wow... since I Never Die (Tomboy) they have been getting bigger and bigger and I am so glad for that!

@@seansswamp that she's more scared than the producers and songwriters rather than the idols or groups themselves, she said that she have to make 2 comebacks a year because everyone in this industry is thinking fastly about the next comeback and the new trends, so her "competition" or "rivals" aren't the idols themselves but the minds behind them because she's the one who produces Gidle

my interpretation of the queencard music video is that she did go out the night before she meant to get surgery, and because she knew it was happening she felt free. she was dancing and living it up with the girls that she idolized on social media (the other 5), but she keeps shifting into them they all keep turning into her, and it brings her to the realization that she doesn't need to get surgery to be the top bitch or be confident and beautiful or to have friends! she was the life of the party, one of the top crowd, the night before, and she hadn't had surgery! and then after she pulls out of it, she gets all these messages and texts, and now they all want to be like HER the way she felt about them previously. to me it's a message of "you dont need to look like someone to be who you want to be" but also in both allergy and queencard, we see that the other four girls aren't happy. yuqi and shuhua are always trend chasing. miyeon wants to be loved. minnie is lonely. it's also a message of "dont compare yourself to others, because they may seem like they have it all, but they have their own battles and might not even have the happiness you're aspiring to"

I love Queencard! I was so confused when it came out and people complained about it saying it's bad/cringe. It's bimbo/barbiecore, that's exactly what it should be! The overconfidence, the references to celebrities and movies, the ridiculous lyrics, the horrendous outfits...it's part of the genre. And the message is still super feminist, saying how no matter what you look like, you're a Queencard. Soyeon did a fantastic job. I still listen to this song on repeat cause it gives me such a confidence boost. Allergy on the other hand legitimately made me cry the first time I listened to it. The lyrics hit so close to home. The "Love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, want" part gets me every time idk why. It's so raw. Both songs are absolute masterpieces and deliver their message of self-love/acceptance so well, albeit in very different ways. As a very insecure girl in her mid 20s, I'm so thankful for (G)-Idle for making music like this, especially in the kpop industry.

She's always done that since latata but got hate for it. I'm glad she's finally getting recognition for it.

the "i feel you" at the end of the QueenCard MV hits way more different with the context that before Soyeon was in GI-DLE, she was on unpretty rapstar, where the girls on there who were older than her, always pointed out her looks - and how she always felt uglier than them. "I Feel You" means that Soyeon understands how people who go through things like this, that they arent alone because once apon a time, Soyeon was exactly like them.

Soyeon is soo smart with her hook line and sink bc when I saw Allergy first I too was like that its an upbeat songbut the lyrics are so sad, but then came Queencard with the most in your face attitude, love idle for always delivering

I think it's also worth mentioning the diversity of the cast in these music videos! It's not often that you see white, Asian, and black people all together in a K-pop music video but it's awesome to see the representation!

I got it all backwards lmao! I think it’s because of the party she went to where she found the girls looking like the prettiest of them all and it’s what drove her to have the “plastic surgery” to look like them and the choppy images of Soyeon turning into the other girls are what’s dominant in her mind because she can’t wait to look like them so she imagined scenarios as to when she finally got the “plastic surgery” also, because she’s under local anesthesia so she’s dreaming That’s how I got it 😭

I think it’s the other way. The dance break lyrics talks about being confident in your own body. Soyeon not going through with the surgery shows she’s a true queen because a “queencard” is someone who is confident and popular. The MV shows Soyeon turning into the other girls cause that’s how she imagines she’ll be after the surgery.

In a way they manage to "infiltrate" the current zeitgeist with their messages before people even realize what's going on :D It's hard to understate how popular their last 3 comebacks were. All of them were hits on the charts and even today, 1 month after release, Queencard is still #1 on all Korean charts. And there's soooo much joy in this comeback and all their stages and music shows, their concerts and festival performances. They truly deserve this.

Also, gidle doesn’t have one specific concept like for example Blackpink (girl crush) or Itzy (Teen crush). So what exact concept do you miss??

G-Idle is definitely one of the groups that really grabbed my attention and got me sucked into the k-pop world. (i’ve only been around since my bag) The way Soyeon produces, the way the videos are directed and written, it all just adds extra flavor. Queencard specifically had me crying at the end of the video, i’m not even a woman but it made ME feel so seen. I love how they’re preaching self love, block out what anyone says and live your life like the badass you are. Thanks for the reaction PD, you’re in a league of your own

I think the ending is meant to highlight the fickle nature of social media. That you can idolize people on social media but that tomorrow everything could change as the life they show you is merely a facade. Soyeon has one night out being confident & out there before her surgery (be it reality or a dream), & the night after she’s the one getting all the likes, DMs & comments. She didn’t need surgery to get what she wanted, she merely needed to be herself & find confidence within herself.

I remember alot of people not understanding the feminism in Tomboy and Nude, and when Queencard and Allergy came out it just continued my absolute LOVE for i-dle and Soyeon's absolute GENIUS in lyric writing. It makes me really happy to see such good commentary!!

@@liljozeebob411I’d actually say that rather than not caring whether they’re sexualized, based on nxde’s concept, it’s more like they’re trying to normalize that these things SHOULDNT be sexualized. Showing some skin, showing a bra strap - these are normal things, they shouldn’t be an indication of women trying to be sexy or be sexualized.

my interpretation of the ending is pretty loose, but basically: soyeon was at the party (don't know how/why, MV's framing of her is purposefully misleading? yuqhua picking stuff out for her in Allergy could be related to the party, since they also did the same with miyeon later) -> saw how gorgeous everyone was at the party, felt like she was out of place/trying too hard -> tried to mimic them later, but felt bad about herself in the end (related: how she was dancing and happy alone in her room as her "usual" self) -> planned plastic surgery to relieve her complicated feelings -> change of heart at the last minute -> turns out she was totally bangin all along and everyone loves her, including her friends!

Allergy is me in the morning and Queen card is after I had coffee 😂

PD + G-Idle = the world is back to normal.... love them or hate them... G idle always warrants great discussion, that is the true purpose of art.

Allergy shows the party, but early on, I think, while Queencard shows the party later in the night. Initially everyone's insecurities were on display. Minnie being lonely despite being successful (which is why she's dating Miyeon's ex so she can feel a little like her). Miyeon is upset that Minnie is going out with her ex. Yuqi and Shuhua, who come off as the popular girls, are really posers who want to be like the American hotties. Soyeon, of course, just wants to be like everyone else. I believe that at some point in the party things change. Soyeon knows she's going to get surgery tomorrow so she decided to just let it all out (which, of course, gets her noticed). Miyeon decides to forgive Minnie which basically solves both Miyeon's and Minnie's plots; Miyeon let go of her ex while Minnie realized she already has a friend. Yuqi and Shuhua seem to be the only ones who don't get a happy ending. Remember they were the hot girls who were telling everyone to change who they are (both Soyeon and Miyeon), so the other members sort of defeat them at the party during the dance battle. Yuqi and Shuhua even are the ones who suddenly are envious of Soyeon when they see her the next day, which shows they didn't change. As for the Soyeon transformation shots, I think Soyeon is remembering the party, but inserting herself in the other's shoes while she's drugged up. So the events are her memories sort of jumbled. Anyway, those are my thoughts on the storyline.

The fact that they spoil Queencard in the first few seconds of this video is freaking great.

there is a recording behind the scenes for queencard so it shows soyeon directing and then there is also live performance stage of queencard which was really good

Hey same :D league of legends at least had one single positive impact on my life from that

Loving gidle for always giving neccessary commentry wrapped up in banger songs and concepts. Soyeon is a genius and I hope gidle will keep achieving great things. 💜

i think the ending and soyeon's picture represents that she always had it in her to be the queencard. hence why she's constantly shifting in and out of reality replacing the girls - she wants to be more like them, but in reality (and as we see from the allergy music video) they also struggle just like her and they aren't that different from each other. i also love how at the end everyone praises soyeon and wants to hang out with her, because at first we're lead to believe that the other girls dislike her for being nerdy, but it turns out to be all a product of her own insecurities. also, you were pretty much spot on with the queencard/kingcard analogy, but i think (since the mv had white chick references and soyeon also talked about "i feel pretty" as inspiration for the art direction of the comeback, that the title might be inspired by the movie mean girls (another y2k classic), since its korean title is "퀸카로 살아남는 법"

If you had seen the precursor videos introducing the characters (and previewing the songs from the album), it makes even more sense than just watching them in the right order.

The ending really gives you the thought of "its all in her head" and at the same time "wait, did that really happen?". To put it more clearly, was it all a dream or was it?

@babette5918

Жыл бұрын

I think that this is the correct interpretation of the ending. The entire "Queencard" video is filled with Y2K tropes and references. Dance battle at the club, emerging from the water looking perfectly beautiful, causing traffic chaos by simply walking down the street, people dancing in professional situations, "It was all just a dream" ending, artifact from the dream to make us wonder "Was it a dream, or wasn't it?". 1off dream episodes from TV series often used that ending.

I love how there are so many pop culture references, both in the mv and in the song, it makes this so much more fun and exciting

I am not sure if anybody commented already about the storyline but Soyeon mentioned a movie called “I feel pretty” as one of her inspiration so I guess the storyline of Queencard similar to this. The character Soyeon played was under the influence of anaesthetic and she felt confident as somehow she was in Minnie/Miyeon/Yuqi’s shoes (all of those ladies seemed to be her object of envy) but what happened was she is still her, but she just gained more confidence.

For all the I-am-still-confused people there: In Allergy, Soyeon wants to be like Minnie but the hot girl trainee Minnie also has sadness in her mind because she is lonely in real life despite being so famous on social media! Miyeon is an influencer & Minnie is now in a relationship with Tom.Boy who is an ex of Miyeon. Hence, she's jealous of Minnie too. Yuqi & Shuhua play the same role & they are Miyeon's friends. The MV ends with Soyeon finally deciding she wants the plastic surgery to look like Minnie cuz she feels allergic while looking at the mirror. The theme of allergy MV is how we perceive ourselves compared to others & how social media shapes our minds & opinions about beauty standards & popularity but deep down that popular person may not be happy in real life like Minnie! Now, in the Queencard MV, despite Soyeon going to the operation theatre for plastic surgery, she decided against it just before the surgery starts cuz in her mind, she understands she's a queenca in her own way! She leaves the hospital & goes to the dance club last night. She has fun with all the members there. Those Minnie/Miyeon/Yuqi turning into Soyeon in the MV has a deeper meaning. Soyeon imagined those situations as hers when she was in the surgery room. Hence, she could conclude by then that she's just fine being herself & chasing others' look won't make her happy as she thought previously. Anyway, after she passed the night with the members & posted the pics on her insta, you can see all the girls are following & leaving comments to her. It proves that the party last night did actually happen & it wasn't just a dream. Just like "I Feel Pretty" movie which was an inspiration for Soyeon for writing & conceptualizing QC, Soyeon in the MV suddenly realized no matter how she looks, she's still a QC by her own merit & she doesn't need to look like someone else's face/body to be a QC.

What's amazing is Queencard surpassed Tomboy's achievements and mind you tomboy was a BIG HIT, I'm so glad they keep moving forward after tomboy

I looove this concept for gidle, they delivered an amazing concept that got yo the ppl. For me allergy touched me so deep, the 00's concept and the lyrics reflected my teenage self and how i felt, and even how i feel now sometimes and i couldnt help but cry with the lyrics and the video bc its true, beauty standarts and how ppl see you always affect you. And queen card was the perfect sequel, full of confidence and with an awesome messages, and that last line of "i feel YOU" made me cry again, because gidle are giving the new generation good feed back and a great example. For me these two are some of their best mvs and the songs are incredible too :))

Since you said you were looking forward to the live stages: my favorite part of the choreo is when they say "take a photo" it cuts to that member at a different camera angle like an actual photo is being taken

Song of the year. MV of the year. Concept of the year. 10 OUT OF 10 EVERYTHING!

I just got the birthday line 😭 o never really payed attention to the lyrics fully but now that I did this song seems just like a big kiss to women, empowering them for just being themselves ❤ so cute, I really respct idle for this

The ending is that she accepted herself as she is and got the confidence in being herself hence the whole world started seeing her differently and thinking she is cool too

I always love watching your videos because it feels like you catch all the nuances and references and messages that I feel are significant to the message and overall concept that others just don’t notice and it makes me happy but also it’s cathartic to watch and catch all those details!! Thank you!!!!

Allergy is my favorite (G)I-dle song

You got it perfectly. It was Soyeon's dream to be like them in Allergy's MV, so she became like them in Queencard by getting confidence even though it was all a dream in the end. Soyeon got inspired by the movie I Feel Pretty which has the same concept. I'm very happy that you liked it, cause I can see the effort in this comeback.

My interpretation is like: the girls turn into her because she feels like the inage she created of them (she thinks those girls are confident and pretty, cool etc, she feels their confidence and feel herself as a queencard, that's why they turn into her

Thank you for the reaction and analysis Her dream is likely a mix of memories and delusions, in the end she didn't get the surgery, this explains the picture in the sns at the end They all slay so amazingly

u forget to play queencard last message on the video, that tiny detail, i love it! just rembering, we are human

Shuhua slayed. PERIOD.

I was waiting for this sooo much I checked everyday😭 their best comeback so far I’m so obsessed

i imagine that soyeon decided to go all out the night before the surgery. not recommended to have alcohol and stuff before surgery, but narrative wise, it works. she did a last hurrah before the surgery to change her face and subsequently, her life. bc she did everything for her own sake and she didn’t care what others thought for that one night, people paid attention. when she prematurely wakes up in the surgery room, she realizes that she didn’t need the surgery. she was capable of having fun and being confident, free to be herself, without the surgery. she just needed to experience it once without thinking about anything else, about what could go wrong or what others would say. then when she gets out and sees people happily greeting her and all the nice comments, she was settled. the feeling of being free. this positive feedback confirmed that she didn’t need surgery or change her life to enjoy it like others she saw were.

PD this jacket is fire!!! And you look so so good!!!

Soyeon just makes hit after hit. So fun and addictive. The concept, instrumental, mv amazing. I didn't like the bsides a lot but title track makes up for them.

They pulled Mean Girls and White Chicks references for a reason, Soyeon wanted to make a statement but wanted to make it fun for once and just have a giggle whilst saying something serious. So I suppose it's also kind of feminist in the way you hear some misogynists say women aren't funny.

Omg I have been waiting for this!! Checking for at least a month since their release. Love Gidle! Obsessed.

i love your reactions sm T-T thank u

I interpreted both the mvs in the Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde way, Soyeon's character was insecure, her in the plaid brown dress in Allergy is the not so special Jekyll self, but sometimes she gets too fed up and stops caring, and lets loose like the other girls, her Mr Hyde side, which we see at the party in QC. After she realised in Allergy that even cosmetic surgery is expensive she has another one of these "breaking points" where she sees the post from Miyeon about the party and says fuck it I'm going, that's when QC starts. Then the next day under anesthetics she sees Miyeon again in the doctor and realises that the "fix" she's looking for, to be like the other girls, is not real since they're also yearning for something else. She wakes up in time and the metaphorical paper plane that her Dr Jekyll self sends in Allergy eventually reaches her, telling her to love herself.

i really love ur reactions
